I should be receiving my batch 1 phone sometime this month. Super excited to see how it feels!

    I really want this to be a success, I expect my phone to become shitty this or next year, in terms of battery life.

    Is there going to be another batch? I think I need to jump on this.

    Looks like linux phones are finally taking off after the first release in 2017, android notwithstanding.

    I want this to be super successful so they release a us/canada version.

    I googled this, and it's an AI company? Why is anyone here excited about this?

    Jolla is trying to ride the AI wave certainly but it's not really "an AI company". The one AI product they offer currently is about running your own limited scope local LLM and the AI part isn't even developed by them.

    Let me be the idiot: is this phone actually usable for a dumb android user who is still dependent on smaller Play Store Apps and Google maps / calendar/ etc.?

    User configurable physical Privacy Switch - turn off your microphone, bluetooth, Android apps, or whatever you wish

    hmm...

    Also this hasn't changed:

    The initial sales markets are EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway.

    I fine this a funny one.

    If you can reconfigure a physical switch, that it by definition is not a kill switch for those functions. It is literally the same as turning them off in software.

    SailfishOS uses AndroidAppSupport, which works way more reliably than Waydroid, but still isn’t perfect.

    Well, that's awesome. I've been keeping an eye on Jolla phones for a while now. When they launched the pre-order campaign, I almost bought one. Then, I realized that I have some picky apps I really need, and those probably won't run on Sailfish. They don't run on Lineage, so why would they run on the android thing (emulation, sandbox, something) in Sailfish?

    I think I'll still need to read more from people who have been daily driving Sailfish. It would be fantastic if I could ditch my big mobile spyware.
